1955 Cadillac Fleetwood, 40,000 original miles This car is one of the finest original cars I have seen in my 40 years in the hobby. It has a true 40,270 miles from new. The body still wears the original factory black paint that still looks wonderful owing to its having been garage kept all its life. It has the rare factory air conditioning that works as it should. The attractive chrome vents in the headliner direct the air as it moves from the AC unit in the trunk up through clear plastic vent tubes to be blown gently on the passengers. It has power windows and power seat for the expected luxury conveniences and they work as new. It has the wonderbar radio and of course power steering and power brakes as you would expect from the top of the line luxury sedan from Cadillac. The 331 cubic inch V8 engine starts instantly and purrs as it runs. It is smooth at all speeds. The automatic transmission shifts perfectly and it steers and brakes as it should. There is a newer dual exhaust system. It is a great driving car. For more photos please go to: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AYtGrNk3ctWLI7A The interior of Cadillacs of this era have always been known for their opulence. The factory brochures had pages of fabric choices for the discerning customer to make their custom orders to suit their personal taste. The interior of this car is excellent. The dash is perfect with all the chrome in excellent condition and the dash pad is blemish free. The headliner is perfect as are all the gray cloth door panels. There is slight wear on the drivers side armrest. The carpets are original and are in great condition but are a little faded from their original gray. The seats are in excellent condition but appear to have seatcovers over the original upholstery that may have been installed when nearly new. The original upholstery may be intact under these attractive and correct looking covers. One interesting thing is that there were only two seatbelts originally installed, one for the driver and one for the right rear seat. This was likely a chauffeur driven car. The body is straight and damage free. I can find no evidence of any repairs or repaint. There are a couple of spots that have been dabbed with a brush and a few small door dings but overall the paint is excellent for having lived almost 60 years. It is way too nice to think about a repaint. All chrome is very nice original. This is a California car since new and there is no rust anywhere. It has been kept in a garage since new and I believe it has had only 3 owners from new. It was kept at a ranch estate here in Ventura county from new. It has been driven sparingly to keep the mileage low but has been exercised to keep everything working. Overall this is a wonderful original car that would suit any collection or Cadillac enthusiast. Feel free to call if you need more photos of specific areas. I have this car advertised elsewhere and reserve the right to remove it from ebay. As is. No warranty is expressed or implied. Thank you for your interest. |

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
Junkyard Gem: 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan
Sat, May 30 2020If you lived in North America in 1967 and you wanted to show the neighbors you'd clawed your way to the peak of the success pyramid, only one car would do: Cadillac Fleetwood. Today's Junkyard Gem is 4,685 pounds of General Motors luxury hardware, finally knocked off the road at age 53 by an unfortunate wreck and now residing in a Denver self-service wrecking yard. The Cadillac brand endured some rough years during the 1970s and 1980s, but rode high during the 1960s. The Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan started at $6,423 in 1967, or just over $50,000 when figured using inflation-adjusted 2020 dollars. A Mercedes-Benz 250SE sedan set you back $6,385 that year, but it weighed barely half as much and packed just 148 horses against the Cad's 340. Really, you had to get a genuine Rolls-Royce to out-swank the Fleetwood-driving Joneses back then (the Lincoln Continental and Imperial didn't have quite the snob appeal at that time), and the Roller cost more than several Fleetwoods combined. This car has been around during its long life. On the windshield, we see 1980 and 1981 parking stickers from the Keeneland Club in Kentucky. This car was already 13 years old by that time, but still very classy. At some point, the car must have migrated to California. Here's a U.C. Berkeley sticker. This ancient In-N-Out sticker comes from the Southern California-only era of the famous hamburger chain. Sometimes it's tough to determine the reasons that an old car ended up in a place like this, but that's not a problem here. Let's hope the car's occupants had their belts on (lap belts only in 1967, but still better than nothing), because these old Detroit land yachts didn't have much in the way of energy-absorbing crumple zones. The paint and interior are quite rough, so this car depreciated from being worth perhaps a couple of grand to scrap value in an instant. Cruise control was a very rare option in 1967, and this car has it. The famous Fleetwood triple-tone horns were still there when I got to this car. Under the hood, 429 cubic inches (7.0 liters) of super-smooth Cadillac pushrod V8. This engine grew to 472 and then 500 cubic inches during the following few years. The paint shows some great patina. Did I buy the horns? Of course I bought the horns — I always bring my trusty lightweight junkyard toolbox when I head out to shoot some Junkyard Gems. Related Video:
2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV officially shown for the first time
Thu, Apr 23 2020When Cadillac originally debuted the 2021 Escalade at the beginning of the year, it held back on photos of the long-wheelbase ESV version of the truck. GM told us the ESV would be revealed in full at the New York Auto Show this year, a show that was promptly postponed due to coronavirus. However, that hasn’t exactly stopped us from seeing the ESV anyway. One of our spy shooters managed to capture a trove of images, showing the ESV without any camouflage. You can scroll through those below. 2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV Sport View 20 Photos At the top of this post sits the one official Cadillac image of the ESV — the other photos are from Cadillac's online visualizer tool. What a grand reveal! The Escalade pictured in front is the Platinum Luxury trim, and the one behind it is the Sport (or Sport Luxury Platinum). Just like we spied before, the main styling differences between the regular Escalade and ESV are minimal. Cadillac extended the rear door and massaged the C-pillar — itÂ’s thicker and leans at a sharper angle. Even before revealing the car in photos, Cadillac gave us all the specs. That was enough for an on-paper comparison between it and the Navigator, including the long wheelbase versions of both. The ESV is 15.9 inches longer than a standard Escalade, allowing for more third row legroom and additional cargo capacity. In other news, Cadillac says orders for the 2021 Escalade can be made today via its website. The system will put you in touch with a dealership to place your order. Those orders will begin arriving in dealerships this fall, according to CadillacÂ’s current plans. You can check out full model line pricing in our post detailing it all here. Related video:
